I usually don't like it when they're all over you trying to assist, but we are going to a wedding in a couple of weeks and I need new clothes!! She went right to work, finding matching items at the right size, and got assistance from the manager when needed - this woman gave great advice! It turns out the clerk was new, and this ended up being a training session. Well, it took about an hour and a half - so much time I never spend on myself, but we'll worth it here! I tried different styles in different colours, and ended up with a complete outfit, including a necklace, all at a 25% discount. Bravo! The only thing I did not get was shoes. Saved that for another shopping trip.

The goal of my visit to ED outlet store was to get my husband a packable jacket as he travels a lot…read moreand he needed a new one. Years ago, I bought him a packable jacket from ED and he loved it & used it ALOT - unfortunately something ripped it. I walked in and was immediately greeted by polite & helpful Reese. I needed a bit more info so he directed me to the manager Kelly, she spent a lot of time with me and I did get exactly what I needed. Not only did I find the jacket but on Sale - I have to say the Bonus of all of this was the knowledge Kelly shared with me. I learned a lot about coats and feel more informed. Both Kelly & Reese are great representatives for ED !! Way to go team!!

You'll never guess, but her name is Jana! Every time anyone called her, I was answering! How funny is that?! The shop had a good selection, and some good prices. It was amazing that the staff was able to keep the shop so tidy, considering how many people were in here on opening day! They also offer a loyalty program; I signed up - let's see how good it is in the long run. I will definitely be back!

Cute little consignment store in the Bell Mews Plaza. It's set up like a boutique and doesn't have…read morethat musty smell that some consignment stores have. They have a "Designer Corner" with higher end brands. They have clothes, handbags, shoes and accessories. They have a mix of luxury brands like Gucci, Louis Vuitton, etc. contemporary brands like Coach, Kate Spade, etc. and regular brands like Nine West, Naturalizer, etc. From what I have seen and handled their luxury items are authentic. I have to say that it's a huge pet peeve of mine when stores sell replicas, so I'm happy to say that I haven't seen any fakes here. Prices are comparable to other consignment stores, but they have 50% off sales occasionally. Lots of free parking in the plaza.

My only suggestion is do not go to that store, the owner Linda is there to make money and sell…read morewhatever prostheses and bras she has in stock. She doesn't care about her customers. I had two mastectomies, she keeps saying yes this is what you need, the prostheses were to big for me but she insisted for me to get them. I return the next day and told her that I wanted a smaller size Linda was so frustrated at me, she wrote in big letters NO EXCHANGE OR REFUND on my receipt. After spending over $2,000 in bras, prostheses and swimsuit. She also charges me $100 for the camisole that you need when you get out of the hospital. Kelly's Boutique give them away. Linda is there only to take your money. The only reason why she wanted me to get the bigger size was that she only had 1 prostheses of my size she had to order another one. Linda the owner is NOT pleasant at all when I had my appointment she asked me to make space for other customers that I was taking to much time even if I had an appointment. I had reconstruction after 5 surgeries and went they're again to find a bra big mistake. I ran in to Linda she said long time no see, I explain to her that I had 5 surgeries and looking for a bra but I have one breast a little smaller. She said and you never gave up with an attitude? Without even looking at me she said you need a 1/2 prostheses, I respond no I don't want a prostheses and I don't need a prostheses. With attitude she argues with me and than said to the young girl selling bras, she needs a prostheses but doesn't want any help her out. The young lady measured me and said your breast have a very small differences let me bring you some bras. After 3 bras she found one that was the proper size. Never again to that store! We should have her close her store, Linda should NOT have any business of any kinds.

I can understand why quilters get such a stash too... very tempting, although I don't sew much. This shop has a section for yarn, but the quilting and sewing side has more variety in it. I was tempted by a lovely apron, which is funny because I don't ever wear one! Maybe I would though... if it looked like this, and if I made it myself! They offer some upscale yarns in here that were heaven to sink my hands into. I managed to walk away with "only" 2 skeins, which will be for a project for me; I'm thinking mittens, but we shall see. I recently purchased the new knitting book called "Saltwater Mittens", which contains patterns that are supposed to represent Newfoundland, and I'm just itching to get going on a few of these patterns! They have a knit-night on Wednesday evenings from 5:00 to 8:00. Now that it's on my radar, I will keep this in mind so that I can spend more time looking around. And oh yeah, knitting! LOL I will definitely be back.
